Former FIRST student and mentor dies in a tragic rocket attack in Iraq today.

[PURPLE!]

I and the members of 624 would like to convey our deepest condolences to the family and friends.

If you would, I would like to know if you have a memorial ribbon for him, if so what color. I will paint it on the robot so he can still be at the championship, competing in what he loved.

For Karl, we've worn little black ribbons, and he did receive a purple heart. Or I could email you a little picture or a copy of one of our team buttons that KArl originally designed and you could tape it one somewhere. My email is REMOVETHISrlinn@REMOVEwrsystems.com.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts. Good luck at the finals!
